Hi guys, this group has been a life saver and of deep value since the discovery and healing journey for my dad’s metastatic prostate cancer. It’s been a year now since his orchiectomy and been on enzalutamide, by God’s grace his Psa has stayed at 0.5. With his recent visit the doctor has suggested him to get a PSMA Pet Inspite of his PSA being consistently low. Based on your experience with your medical team, is this Pet scan still recommended or needed like a non negotiable if the Psa has been consistently low ? What has been your experience with PSMA PET scan? If we decide to get it done , what are something’s that will help my dad feel more comfortable during and after the scan. Yes am quite anxious for him, don’t want to subject his body to a high level radiation PSMA PET if it’s not a non negotiable … also because his experience with the MRI was quite bad and super draining for him.
Please help share your insights and thoughts?
Thanks in advance guys. Wishing you the very best and healing and recovery in this journey of beating prostate cancer and claiming your recovery.
